I Heard the Bells....

The other day, I was sitting in the lania at our Florida rental, taking in the beauty of the fresh morning, my Bible in my lap, coffee mug in my hand. Such a lovely time of day.

And then, across the air, permeating the blue, cloud studded skies, rang out the sound of worship, as the beautiful nearby church bells tolled the notes of familiar hymns. The melodies filled the air, and sent my thoughts heavenward, as the words of the beloved hymns filled my mind and soul.

It was a gift. I was thankful to those who provided the time, the resources, the musical abilities and the foresight to provide the community with the beauty of the bells. I was thankful for those who penned the familiar hymns and for those who taught their words to me. I was thankful that I know our Creator God personally, that those hymns directed my heart to consider His love and care.

So just as those bells chimed out inspiration, hope and beauty, so may our life, what we say and what we do...ring out with praise to our Father, that others too can hear hope and inspiration like I did when I...

Heard the bells!
